About me

A photoblogger, I document images of everyday life and share them with a larger, worldwide online audience. My goal is to use my photography to empower, inform and celebrate life. I carry my camera with me everyday and shoot regularly. I take photos as an extension of what my eyes and mind sees. I enjoy landscapes, urban, street photography, black and white, nature, photojournalism, architecture, animal portraits...I enjoy to tell stories.

Documenting everyday life through photography makes me see everyday things that I may have otherwise taken for granted.

In 2002, I began shooting photos in Puerto Rico, where I used to live and work. I fell in love with its architecture, palm trees, beaches and people, and I fell in love with the art of photography. Puerto Rico inspired me to share my photography with the world. I took photos as part of Puerto Rico Sun, a cultural arts project that I started as an e-magazine to empower and inform boricuas.

I returned home to New York City in 2005. Today I am editor and publisher of Puerto Rico Sun Communications, a community-minded independent multimedia social entrepreneurship aimed at informing, empowering and building community. Shooting photos to document the Puerto Rican experience is part of my mission.
